LOL .. well to be so fricken smart .. apparently you missed the historical FACT that FDR served more than 2 terms.

Obama is trying to create the same scenario. Afterall .. FDR could do that much damage with 3 terms, by keeping the economy in the tank, and creating desperation .. why can't Obama do the same??

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) 32nd President of the U.S. 1933-1945

22nd Amendment to U.S. Constitution Ratified 2/27/1951

Barack Hussein Obama (1961- ) 44th U.S, President 2009-

Maybe one should not be so quick to call another “fricken smart”. The evidence presented indicates the accuser’s ignorance.

“I seldom make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect.” Edward Gibbon

Never fear Ken ... the "norm" was two terms before FDR ... the Democrats ignored the norm. The 22nd Amendment is now law, but when has that stopped anybody?? Obama has just repealed the Welfare Reform law, even though that authority is not granted in the law. Obama just passed a mandate that people buy something ... even though that is unconstitutional, regardless of what Roberts thinks.

Harry Reid, and three other Democrats have proposed legislation to repeal the 22nd amendment on 4 separate occassions. This tells you the desire of the Dictatorial Democrats. Given their tendency to ignore the law, you can bet that there will be a loop-hole found in the Constitution that will allow them to circumvent the 22nd.

As noted by Laslett ...

"On the other hand, the philosophical tradition behind the idea of government by consent and by law has acknowledged that republican executives must have power to act in an emergency. In his Discourses on the First Ten Books of Titus Livius, Machiavelli wrote, “Those republics which in time of danger cannot resort to a dictatorship will generally be ruined when grave occasions occur” (book 1, chap. 34). In The Second Treatise of Government (1690), John Locke noted that, because it is “impossible to foresee, and so by laws to provide for, all accidents and necessities, … therefore there is a latitude left to the executive power, to do many things … which the laws do not prescribe.” This power Locke called “prerogative”; it is the power “to act according to discretion, for the public good, without the prescription of the law, and sometimes even against it” (Laslett, ed., 1988, p. 375).34 "

Just as FDR created a catastrophy for the US Public, taking the US from a recession to a long standing depression, in order to usher in all kinds of Eurpean Ideas grounded in Social Justice, there is absolutely nothing in law to stop President Obama from doing the same. Indeed, the action of the President are consistent with notion that he is actually trying to bring about such a catastrophy, to create a scenario wherein "Hope and Change" can be ushered in, implementing all kinds of ideological law.

At the very least, given the stupidity and gullibility of the US Public, such a catastrophy can be used to bring about the necessary support to repeal the 22nd Amendemnt, as Harry Reid and other Democrats have sought to do.

You are free to "trust" the Democrats ... I do not. They have a long track record of deception and dishonesty. While the GOP is accused of its cozy relations with business .. the Democrats are bent on changing the LAW in a way that guarantees their philosophy be written for the land in the code.

“I seldom make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect.” Edward Gibbon

I am going to deviate from one of my rules, stated above . In past post you predict a huge landslide loo by Obama and now predicting h multiple reelection requiring a change in the constitution, not just an act of congress law.

You show an ignorance of history and the when called out, come up some rambling “I’m not guilty”.

If Obama is so disliked he cannot get reelected how is he going to get congress, both houses, and the 38 states to approve a constitutional change? Not higher order thinking.

The Great depression began with recession in September 1929 and the depression with the stock market collapse in October 1929. The depression was world wide. Unemployment reached 33% The drought that began in 1930s aggravated the economic situation. The combined depression/ Dust bowl brought about the largest internal migration in American history. FDR became President in 1932 ; the recession was three years old and the depression two. The Worldwide depression caused upheaval worldwide, and brought the Nazi to power in Germany that led to WWII. FDR republican opponents offered nothing but let it be; FDR conceived programs that helped. With a war on the horizon in 1938 The Republican party was isolationists and FDR was preparing for war.

Where you and conservative /republicans see FDR As “a Liberal” the people living at the time saw him as a President helping a desperate nation.

The situation of today is vastly different from the 1930s, and your predications are incongruent.

I would suggest you stick with your rule from the beginning.

You have no respect for my opinion ... I have no respect for the philosophy you embrace, or the people who ascribe to it.

As far as I'm concerned ... "we're good".

But I wll say this ... before every dictatorship ... something else existed. Don't think it can't happen here ... and don't think the Democrats are above it. BUT ... you actually may support it, so it is a moot point.
